“Synecdoche”

Posted by Christy Marshall in Visual Arts

Hannah Marcotte installs her piece “Synecdoche of a dress” for the student juried show at Wade Wilson, which opened Feb, 19 and runs through March 11. “Synecdoche” means a part representing a whole. “Synecdoche of a dress,” As Marcotte explained, is about 5-foot-by-5-foot piece she made by taking micro photos of a dress she owns and painting each photo on to 1-foot-by-1-foot boards that make up the whole piece.
